How do you move alternator to the air pump location?

I have a serpentine system and removed my air pump, what model alternator fits in the air pump location? I know it's the small case design but is it the same model or do I need to use the one that has the mounting holes 180d like on most other models?
Also, does anybody know if you can hookup 2 alternators to one battery or do you need to keep them isolated and run it to another battery?

I moved my alt to the A/C location as I deleted the A/C and the pump. Let me know if you have any questions.

Did you have to change anything around?
